feature request. An other pallet #205

Open Jirido opened 2 years ago

Jirido commented 2 years ago

Hi. As I said in an earlier comment, congratulations on a good program.

When using the pallet with around 90 colors that I had picked from photos of engine rooms I notice that sorting them became a bit hard and then thought to look if I could open yet an other instance of the pallet to drag them over to, in an attempt to sort them easier. As this would be just one more pane of the "same" I thought it might be some thing you could implement quite easy. I thought it as a new empty, but even an new of the same could be nice to sort and compare a long list.

An other feature i miss and have found in a colorpicker you can find at https://colorpicker.fr/ (they have an appimage) is the full screen color picker. It is very handy to really get a feel for the color. Their picker only has rgb slides but obviously HSL would be very nice also.

Upon that it would also be handy to have two set of slides so that one could try readability of text in combinations of background and text color in full screen also. Even an extra shadow slider with off set could be a thing.

I understand that this all is much to ask but your base is very good and has css and html export and all right there in place already so.. your app seams the way to go.

Hi, both features seem useful and not difficult to implement. Additional palette feature will be ready this week. Full screen color picker feature may take a little more time. Have a look at the initial implementation of the first feature here: https://youtu.be/uyEPFR6NgwM. If it does not work like you would want it to, then leave a comment.
